I think the site removes links with free domains ,, cuz it happened with me several times
There's nothing called internet virus! What logic is that?

Why do people always do this? Why do you make a new thread for anything before checking Google?
This was so simple to find. It took me about 3 seconds to find your result.

That's one example of how you check the URL. Also when clicking on random links like that, it is better to do it from a VM.

to check it and avoid risk of virus, wallet.dat stolen, or something like this....

Opening a site can't get your wallet.dat stolen. This isn't as simple as you seem to think.

a do not know virustotal...

and avira do not have this functionality.

i not agree...
if on onLoad event there was a script who use upload functionality, your wallet.dat can go without you see it go!!!

That's a bad choice of AV. Stop going for free protection. I'm even pretty sure that this thread is off-topic.
Avira can help if it has a scanner (not sure, Avast has - not a good choice either).

You don't need to know anything, because Google knows everything. You just need to know how to use Google.

Can't you bookmark virustotal and when you want to scan, open it and put the link?

You can use userscript and/or bookmarklet. Here is one: https://github.com/aptonic/dropzone-user-scripts/blob/master/VirusTotal.dropzone. I haven't tested this, so I can't comment on this.
